1 Meristematic tissues: Responsible for growth* in plants, allowing for cell division and the formation of new cells.

Here are the functions for each of the listed tissues:

• 2.1 Meristematic tissues: Responsible for growth in plants, allowing for cell division and the formation of new cells.
• 2.2 Collenchyma: Provides flexible support to young stems, petioles of leaves, and veins, allowing for growth without breaking.
• 2.3 Chlorenchyma: Carries out photosynthesis due to the presence of chloroplasts.
• 2.4 White fibrous tissue: Provides strong, inelastic connection and support, forming structures like tendons (connecting muscle to bone) and ligaments (connecting bone to bone).
• 2.5 Squamous epithelium: Facilitates diffusion and filtration due to its thin, flat cells, found in areas like the lining of blood vessels and air sacs of the lungs.
